I am not my brain

Hello all,
I am new here. I have been living with anxiety now for a little over 2 years. I'm basically just looking for support, and people to connect with. I don't know anyone else who suffers with this problem personally, and sometimes I get lonely. I've been on several meds. (a/d's, benzo's) and none worked, a matter of fact they just made me worse, ESPECIALLY the benzos. Now I am living med free, and plan to defeat this naturally.
I am still very symptomatic. I still suffer from the racing heart, intrusive/racing thoughts, bad sleep, nightmares, bad pains in the back of my head, morning anxiety, disturbed emotions, DR, blah blah. There could be something else wrong, don't really know. I was raised in a very disfunctional house, father was a sociopath, so we took a lot of mental abuse.
I know anxiety is beatable, I just don't know if I can get to a point of low stress consistently to heal due to the environment I live in. So that is my story, hopefully I can get the support I need to get through all this here :)
Thank you
